Information Overload

Bear with me, this is going to get complicated. Its 8:00pm last night thewife's upstairs in the bath and I'm watching Liverpool and Barca and the phone rings. I can't find the phone, its wireless and thewife used it last. By the time I track it down in the kitchen the caller has rung off. I do the 1471 bit and its Lady El so I call back, but it rings out and then the answering machine cuts in and I leave a message. A few minutes later mumsy is on the phone, she says that someone had phoned her to say that a window had been broken in our house and someone had been trying to get in. She had phoned Lady El looking for us, although we were in fact in. She couldn't say who called. At this point Lady El arrives at the door, practically with flashing blue light to say that mumsy had called her about our window having been broken and she thought she'd better come round to check. I'm confused as fuck by this point. I decide to go round to check mumsy's 1471 to see if I can find out who called her. I check the number and clock recognition. Its our number that phoned at 6:15. This is correct I remember thewife calling her to remind her to take medication. Mumsy is fine, had her dinner and her medication so reckon she's perhaps fallen a sleep and had a really vivid dream or something.

thewife is round at mumsy's today and notices that mumsy's downstair neighbour is out fixing a broken window. She asks him about it and relates the mumsy tale. He bursts out laughing. His window was apparently broken by someone attempting to enter lockfast premises as they say. He had called the police who made enquiries of the neighbours. Including mumsy. There was no phone call it was a young policemen who had spoken to her about the event. It wasn't our house it was her neighbour's. Apart form that she's not lost it completely.
